Video: Woodkid – “The Golden Age”

Woodkid has completed his striking short film/long music video for his 2013 album of the same name, “The Golden Age.” This is the fourth song from the album to receive a video treatment from the man himself and as he has proven time and time again he has a great flair for the both the cinematic and dramatic.

The version of “The Golden Age” used in the video is a special extended edition, a collaboration with composer Max Richter. Check out the moving video and credits below…

Listen: Woodkid – The Golden Age” Full LP Stream

We like to think of ourselves as early champions of Woodkid’s work having shared every video released since 2011’s  Iron ep and on leading up to Yoann Lemoine’s full length, The Golden Age, which is out today. Of course we have also shared many of Yoann’s video works for other recording artists as well and it’s always quality work with a great sense for the dramatic and cinematic. The Golden Age continues in that fine tradition with its sprawling orchestral compositions filled with grand horns, captivating strings and massive percussion. At the moment “I love You,” who’s video we recently shared, takes top place for me.  Stream the record below courtesy of Noisey.

Video: Woodkid –“I Love You”

Woodkid dropped his latest single, “I Love You” today. As always the visuals are top notch and continue the epic feeling and story line seen in “Iron” and “Run Boy Run”. This is the first single from The Golden Age LP which is due to drop on March 18.

The Video features Russian model Matvey Lykov hence the Russian dialogue at the start that roughly translates to this...

Priest: "Today I’m gonna tell you a story about man who drowned in cold waters of ocean. After the loss of loved one. It’s story about man who died twice.”

Video: Woodkid – “Run Boy Run”

We first shared some music and visuals from Yoann Lemoine’s Woodkid project a year ago in the form of the excellent “Iron”. In that year Lemoine‘s star has grown brighter with his Lana Del Rey video’s and remix’s and although Yoann was already known for his sleak music videos for the likes of  Katy Perry, and Moby he is poised to make Woodkid just as successful in it's own right. Check out the breathtaking video for new single "Run Boy Run" which Yoann of course directed himself, if you like what you hear head to iTunes to grab the Run Boy Run EP released today.

Video: Drake – “Take Care”

Drake offers up the latest video from his 2011 LP Take Care in the form of the title track. The MC brought on Yoann Lemoine, aka Woodkid, to direct the video. Between this, the “BornTo Die” video and the directors visuals for his own song “Iron,” Lemoine has been creating a grandeur, otherworldly and  majestic  aesthetic  that’s becoming his calling card and deffenitely works well with the epic feel of the song that famously samples Jamie xx.

Listen: Lana Del Rey – Born To Die (Clams Casino Remix)

Onomatopoeia favorite Clams Casino has come through with a rather distinctive reworking of Lana Del Rey's title track "Born To Die". 2011 was a big year for both of these artists so why not put them together and see what happens right? Enjoy below...  

BONUS:
I figured I might as well drop Woodkid's remix as well, for my money it's the better of the two.

Video: Lana Del Rey – “Born To Die”

The finalized video for Lana Del Rey’s “Born to Die” dropped yesterday; the idea was conceived by Lana and directed by Woodkid, who’s excellent visual style you may remember from a post we did way back in June.

Watch this

You might know Yoann Lemoine, for his music videos for the likes of Katy Perry,Yelle and Moby but now Yoann has shifted focus to his own musical project known as Woodkid. Woodkid live in a similar universe as These New Puritans showcasing bombastic percussion and majestic horns. Check out the breathtaking video for single "Iron" which he of course directed himself.
